I am currently searching for any information on the name of Chassereau family who came to England in the 1700's as part of the Huguenot exodus from France. I also know that part of the family went to Canada between 1700 and 1750.

Hello and God bless.
I,m from Puerto Rico and I,m looking for Benito Chassereau who was the consul of France in Puerto Rico (caribean) from 1838-45. This probably could be one of my grandparents from my maternal line.
I also found Luis Chassereau or Chasseriaux probably born in 1810 in France, who was my fourth grandparent and the father of Luis Chassereau or Chasseriaux who was born in my home town Hormigueros in 1850.
I hope you write back. I haven't received any answer from other people with the Chasseriax or chassereau last name yet.
Thank you
Axel Toro Bobe

I was surfing idly online and came across this link and I have to reply since I am aware of a connection with my own roots.
I know that a young Jacques Chasserau was "secreted in a barrel" as a stowaway on a ship to England following the St Bartholomew massacre. He obviously settled in London and was married in St Martin-in-the-Fields church in London to Anne (?) Johannot. This is what I remember in my head just now, but I do have more details I can give when I find them. My grandfather had the name Chassereau as one of his first names and I have the genealogy going back to Jacques through female lines. Please let me know if you want more details. I would also like to discover more about the Huguenot link. I benefited in some small way from a Huguenot bursary when I was at school.
Yours,
Rachel Payne

Hi. My mother's maiden name is Chassereau and I've tried to trace back the family to France/England, but to no avail. I keep dead ending in the Charleston, South Carolina area. It may help me to have some information on the English branch (as some may have later traveled to the states). I may be able to make a geneological connection with that information.
Thank you!

Dear Steven,
I live in England and am interested in the Chassereau family coming from France around around 1700. My grandfather had the name Chassereau as part of his name and a family link (through female line) to an early refugee. I have a genealogy on Genesreunited. In particular I have details of one Francois Chasserreau who was born at Niort in France in 1698 and who escaped to England "secreted in a barrel on board ship" in 1712, when aged 14, as I have already posted. His father Jacques Chassereau of Niort also had another son Antoine who obviously also came to England as he married Esther Larcher in St Martin-in-the Fields in London in 1727. Francois married Anne Johannot of Eynsford, Kent on May 12th 1727 at St Benet's, Paul's Wharf, London. As far as I know they had 6 children: Francis (b.14.8.1729); Anne (b.12.4.1732); Esther (1734); Elizabeth Anne (b.10.7.1737); Jane (1739); and Marguerite (19.9.1738). Any who bear the name Chassereau in the US may well have descended from the youngest, Francis, who died in Marylebone, London, in 1767. I would dearly love to know more about the descendants of the other five I don't know about. My descent is from the 3rd, Esther. If you have any more details about descendants who went on to America, or any other Huguenot families, I would be very grateful to receive them. I hope to do research into the period of immigration and write of it.
Thanks,
Rachel Payne

Hi Rachel, thank you for the information. Though I am not able to make the connection yet from America back to England or France, your information may yet help me to find the link. My oldest Chassereau ancestor that I can find information about is John Chassereau, who was born about 1760. More information on him can be found at http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=smears&id=I6258
